William Perlman/The Star-LedgerSal Alosi tears up Monday as he addresses Sunday's tripping incident. On Wednesday, the Jets elevated the suspension in light of new information.

Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum said the team will suspend strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi indefinitely after receiving new information about Alosi instructing the Jets players form a wall on the sideline during punts in the Miami game.

"Once we got through the day Monday, it looked to me that it was unusual for them to be standing that way," Tannenbaum said.

He said that once the Jets spoke with the players Tuesday, it became clear that Alosi instructed them to stand in the way that they did when the Jets were returning punts.

When asked if this could eventually lead to Alosi's firing, Tannenbaum said "all options are certainly on the table."

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said league vice president Ray Anderson and his staff are "reviewing and clarifying sideline protocols with the teams at today's league meeting in Fort Worth and will follow up with a memo to the clubs this week."

On Monday, Tannenbaum said the Jets were focused more on the actual trip and the safety of the Dolphins players and did not realize how the players were standing until further review of the trip.

Alosi, who's been in his current position with the Jets since 2006, admitted as much to Tannenbaum when they spoke.

"Yeah, I'm really disappointed," Tannenbaum said. "Sal's done a lot of good things -- I'm very disappointed in what's happened and again we're going to leave it at this stage once we get a full and complete review of the facts."

Coach Rex Ryan addressed the development in his meeting with reporters.

"You know what, and I'm not anyone to judge anyone else, but everyone makes mistakes. When we look at the facts we'll make a proper decision. Again, nobody's perfect.
